Top Ten Books on my Summer TBR
Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas
Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she's at last returned to the empire- for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past...She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved by a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.If you didn't realise this would be number one of my list then you are clearly new to the blog. Maas is the master as far as I am concerned and I will happily devour any little bookish morsel she will give me. I am desperate but scared for Queen of Shadows. Especially since when I met the author she said they aren't sending out any advanced copies. THAT MEANS BIG THINGS ARE COMING. DEATH!!!! Lots and lots of death that will probably make me cry. CHOOSE CHAOL WOMAN! Gah.... this series. I need this book. You can check out my gushing reviews of her books here: Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Assassin's Blade & A Court of Thorns and Roses,
The Boy Most Likely by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Tim Mason was The Boy Most Likely To:-find the liquor cabinet blindfolded-need a liver transplant- drive his car into a house
Alice Garrett was The Girl Most Likely To:-well, not date her little brother's baggage-burdened best friend, for starters.
For Tim, it wouldn't be smart to fall for Alice. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if the "smart" choice is always the right one. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard/Then the unexpected consequences of Tim's wild days come back to shock him. He finds himself in a situation that isn't all it appear to be, that he never could have predicted... but maybe should have,And Alice is caught in the middle.
My Life Next Door is one of my favourite books of all time, it's just so fucking adorable. Seriously, there is not better word for it. Plus it hit on topics that were hard hitting to me at the time and it made me cry. I have been absolutely desperate for this sequel ever since. Give it to me!!!
November 9 by Colleen Hoover
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon's last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration that Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time, and amidst the various relationships and tribulations that separate their lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Their Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet, and protect then from destruction. Some say Flynn's a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck- now, they live a public life in front of the cameras, and a secret life away from the world's gaze.Now, in the center of the universe on the planet of Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight against LaRoux Industries to a head. Gideon Marchant is an eighteen-year-old computer hacker- a whiz kid and an urban warrior. He'll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don't dare touch.Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you're done noticing it, she's got you offering up your wallet, your car, and anything else she desires. She holds LaRoux industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost.When a LaRoux industry security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia's separate attempts to infiltrate their headquarters, they're forced to work together to escape. Each of them has their own reason for wanting to take down LRI, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they have to expose the secrets LRI is so desperate to hide.
This one might have the prettiest cover of the series. I don't know for sure though. I am incredibly fond of the cover for These Broken Stars. But, my word, it is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see how this series ends!
Like It Never Happened by Emily Adrian
When Rebecca Rivers lands the lead in her school's production of The Crucible, she gets to change roles in real life, too. She casts off her old reputation, grows close with her four rowdy cast-mates, and kisses the extremely handsome Charlie Lamb onstage. Even Mr. McFadden, the play's critical director, can find no fault with Rebecca,Though "The Essential Five" vow never to date each other, Rebecca can't help her feelings for Charlie, leaving her both conflicted and lovestruck. But the on and off-stage drama of the cast is eclipsed by a life-altering accusation that threatens to destroy everything... even if some of it is just make believe.This just seems like a very cute, summer read with some drama thrown in.
Not After Everything by Michelle Levy
Tyler has a football scholarship to Stanford, a hot girlfriend, and a reliable army of friends to party with. Then his mom kills herself. And Tyler lets it all go.

How could he not fall for her? But with his dad more brutally unpredictable than ever, Tyler knows he can't risk bringing Jordyn too deeply into the chaos. So when violence rocks his world again, will it be Jordyn who shows him the way to a hopeful future? Or after everything, will Tyler have to find it in himself?

What You Left Behind by Jessica Verdi
It's all Ryden's fault. If he hadn't gotten Meg pregnant, she would have never stopped her chemo treatment and she would still be alive. Instead, he's failing fatherhood one dirty diaper at a time.

Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales

But she's tired of being loyal to people who don't appreciate her - including her needy best friend and her absent mom.

When Peter is dumped by the girlfriend he blogs about, Arden decides to take a road trip to see him.During one crazy night out in NYC filled with parties, dancing and music - the type of night when anything can happen, and nearly everything does - Arden discovers that Peter is exactly who she thought he was. And maybe she isn't exactly who she thought she was either.

CHARNELL THE BOY MOST LIKELY TO IS UP ON EDELWEISS RIGHT NOW!!!!! GO GO GOOOOO!! xD
ReplyDeleteI WENT!!! I HAVE HEARD NOTHING YET :'(
DeleteSounds like you have some pretty amazing books on your summer TBR this year! I am especially curious about Six of Crows because that is the one I want to try the most of all of those you have mentioned. I am someone who reads all my thick fantasy books in the summer. So I am going to try and read Angellfall but I also want to try Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting through Clash of Kings! I know Martin reads some amazingly large books.
DeleteThese are all fabulous picks and many, if not all of them, I would have on my list as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThe second I get Six of Crows I'm diving in! I'm heartbroken because I was at BEA on a different day then it was given out. I can't wait to read it! I definitely want to read all the others, but Six of Crows I want most. Great list, I hope you enjoy them all!

My TTT
Me too! Can't wait to read it.
DeleteI thought November 9 was coming out in the fall sometime. You have an ARC or something? Anyways, happy reading!
ReplyDeletehttps://ireadboooks.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/top-ten-books-on-my-tbr-for-summer-2015/
Nope, no ARC! But I just really want to read it. And I also thought it was out in September.
DeleteLots of great books! What You Left Behind is one I am really excited for - Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMe too, it sounds so good!
DeleteThe Their Fractured Light cover is my NEW FAVOURITE THING OF EVER. *hyperventilates* Her dress, for some weird reason, sort of reminds me of a long flapper dress from the 1940s?! I don't even know what my brain is doing. I JUST LOVE THE COLOURS. :) Ahhh, I'm so excited for QoS. But I agree. CHOOSE CHAOL, WOMAN. STAHP MESSING WITH OUR EMOTIONS.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT!
ME TOO!!! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
DeleteSo excited for A Whole New World as well! This is the series I've been waiting for that I didn't realize I was waiting for! LOL! Hope you enjoy all these reads as soon as you can!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I hope I love it, it looks so good.
DeleteOH MY GOSH YES QUEEN OF SHADOWS!!
ReplyDeleteIt didn't make my list because I don't think it comes out until September.
And Six of Crows looks SO AWESOME!
NEED QUEEN OF SHADOWS SO BADLY!!!
DeleteIf I were including books that hadn't been release yet on my list, then nearly all of the ones on your list would have been on mine. DEFINITELY QUEEN OF SHADOWS ANYWAYS. I'm also super scared of what's going to happen. I'm prepared to cry my eyes out for days. This is the first time I've seen the cover for Their Fractured Light and I'M IN LOOOOOVE. It's gorgeous! I neeeeed Six of Crows and The Boy Most Likely To nooooow!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! :D
I NEED QUEEN OF SHADOWS SO BADLY!!!!!!
DeleteI keep eyeing my copy of Tonight The Streets Are Ours, even though I know I need to read some eARCs first. But it is killing me, sitting on my shelf in all its purple-pink glory!
ReplyDeleteI have just started it and am enjoying it so far.
DeleteI've pre-ordered Queen of Shadows on Amazon and the Book Depository(like you I collect both the UK and US editions) and hopefully one(or both) will ship early. PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteThe Boy Next Door was almost a 5* for me, but for some reason I've yet to read another book of hers. Should definitely remedy that this summer.
So excited for A Whole New World as well. I don't know of any other Aladdin re-tellings. <3
As per usual the autumn is a wondrous time for new releases. Of course November 9 and Six of Crows top my most anticipated.
Happy reading!
Brittany @ This is the Story of My(Reading) Life
Haha, I have pre-ordered both of them too! I AM TERRIBLE BUT I CAN'T STOP MYSELF!!!
DeleteI forgot about The Boy Most Likely To! I'm dying for that one and Queen of Shadows (of course). Great list!
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T WAIT FOR BOTH OF THOSE!!!
DeleteQUEEN OF SHADOWS!! I've had it pre-ordered since it got it's cover and OMG. I think it's going to destroy our souls and shatter our hearts into a million pieces but I NEED it like air, water, food and love. September can NOT get here fast enough XD I still need to read These Broken Stars and the Grisha trilogy but I must get to them soon^^ Good luck with all the books on your Summer tbr shelf Charnell! xx
ReplyDeleteHAHA ME TOO!!! I have two different editions preordered as I am that sad.
DeleteGreat list!! I just discovered Colleen Hoover a couple of months ago and have been playing catch up with her books. Sarah Maas is another "new to me" author that I plan on starting this summer. I hope you enjoy all of these books!!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://www.jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2015/06/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-summer-tbr.html
Thank you, me too!
DeleteI'm definitely chomping at the bit for Queen of Shadows! I literally just finished Heir of Fire last week and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to read it!!! Looks like you have a lot of great reading to look forward to! My TTT:
ReplyDeleteCrystal @ Books Unbound
Me too, I need that book NOW!!!
DeleteThe cover for Their Fractured Light is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have a review copy of What You Left Behind but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
Great picks!
It really is, can't wait to get my hands on it.
DeleteI like most all of your pics. Awesome!

Thank you :)
DeleteQueen of Shadows! Six of Crows! GIMME GIMME GIMME. The ending to Heir of Fire basically killed me, so I will be reading QoS as soon as humanly possible, thank you very much. Also, I'm intrigued by A Whole New World (and I like that cover a lot more than the genie lamp cover that I've seen around) but I'm not sold on it yet. The summary of the book makes it feel really generic. I'll be curious to read your review. If I read enough positive reviews, maybe I'll give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW RIGHT!!! I need those books in my life as soon as I can.
DeleteGreat list! I'm a Dorian shipper but that doesn't lessen my excitement for Queen of Shadows. I also wanted to read The Boy Most Likely To, Six of Crows, and A Whole New World. I can't wait until the release of What You Left Behind. Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteAnjie @ Love thy Shelf
I NEED QUEEN OF SHADOWS NOW!!!
DeleteTheir Fractured Light is gorgeous. I really enjoyed book one and need to read book two still. Here's hoping. As for the Disney re-imaginings, I am all for that! It's amazing and fun and just, yes! :)
ReplyDeleteDisney reimaginings are the best.... and there should be a million more!!!
DeleteWhat now? No ARCS = death?!?! I was hoping it meant it's become so popular the publishers don't need to spend the money on ARCs because it'll do well anyway. That's what it means, right? Right?! R x
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: http://confessionsofabookgeek.com/2015/06/16/top-ten-tuesday-my-summer-tbr-list-2015/
NO.... IT MEANS DEATH!!! SCARY EVIL DEATH!!!! She warned that she was worried about fans response to it. And that she can wash her hair with our tears.... THERE WILL BE DEATH!!!!!!!!!
DeleteA Whole New World sounds amazing, I can't believe I've never heard of it, Six of Crows seems to be the favorite this year. Thanks for sharing!
